   I was in Budapest in late April. I made a special visit to the Hopp-Ferenc East-Asian Art Museum, to see their snuff bottles.
  Waste of time and a tram ticket!
  The 20-25 bottles on display are mediocre 1850-1930 examples, but all are attributed to the 18th C., and to the Palace Workshops!  I told someone there, that if the bottles had been as good as they were described, the museum would have had a great collection.
  I had with me my 1987 SC burgundy catalogue, to give them for their library (it was lightweight). I showed the guy  about 10  bottles, my example compared to their example in the display case. He agreed that mine looked better even though just illustrations. I left my card, with a request that they email me if they wanted free copies of my 1998 IPSB, and 2007 B&WSB catalogues. Haven't heard back yet.
 Shabbat Shalom, Joey
